SIMATIC MV340 handheld reading system

Handheld reading systems are suitable for portable reading of

two-dimensional (2D) data matrix codes and one-dimensional

(1D) barcodes. The integrated complex image processing func-

tions and illumination technologies permit codes to be read on

different surfaces. Code readers of different performance

classes are available for this purpose. The range extends from

devices for simple reading tasks such as printed barcodes up to

models for demanding, weak-contrast markings such as dot-

peened or lasered codes.

SIMATIC MV320

The SIMATIC MV320 is the entry level device. The entry level de-

vice is suitable for labels with higher contrasts, but it can also be

used application-specifically for labels with lower contrasts. The

SIMATIC MV320 is available as cabled versions (RS232, USB).

The reader is designed for a distance of up to 375 mm.

SIMATIC MV325

The SIMATIC MV325 handheld readers are powerful readers

with Bluetooth wireless communication. The readers are suitable

for labels with higher contrasts, but they can also be used appli-

cation-specifically for labels with lower contrasts. The SIMATIC

MV325 readers are supplied with a charging station containing

the respective access point of the wireless interface and a

cabled connection to the host (USB). The readers are designed

for a distance of up to 375 mm.

SIMATIC MV340

The SIMATIC MV340 is the most powerful device and is particu-

larly suitable for demanding applications such as low-contrast

and damaged codes. It has a high reading rate when decoding

data matrix symbols. The special integrated lighting works

equally well on smooth, reflective or wavy surfaces. The MV340

can be connected via RS232 or USB. The device is designed for

close ranges and records codes at a distance of up to 50 mm.
